Evening all!

Well I'm shattered and my mullered knees are now aching but managed to get a lot done on the truck today...

Fixed a brake fluid leak, replaced the rear prop as the uj had seized and welded itself to the flange, all new wheel bearings all round, new discs and pads all round - just in time I think too, whilst 'persuading' the old front discs to let go of the hubs gave them a little tap with a hammer and the disc split away from the centre! :eek: on both sides!! :eek::eek: Glad I didn't hit the brakes hard! I'd hate to think the outcome if that happened on the truck :puke:

Managed to get a shed load of much overdue welding done too, re-attached a rear body mount, patched up both rear inner arches, outer rear sections of the rear of the sills, couple of patches on the outer edge of the sills, rear a-frame cross member, passenger side front foot well, passenger side front of sill.... pheew! That'll do for one day :cool:

A few little pickies for ya....

Now its just a few holes in the drivers side and the front inner wings and headlight bowls :doh: Shurly there's noo more!!!! :eek:
 
Bit of good news today... She passed her mot! yey!! Got an advisory on one of the front body mounts so more welding to come! lol

Lorri789: I'm using +2 springs and +2 lower spring seat spacers but tbh the springs have probably sagged a bit over the years so it's probably more like +2-3 than +4. It looks a lot higher than it is cos the arches are cut out
